Abstract

In this study, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) was used to investigate the effect of short term ozone exposure on both front and back surfaces of the leaves of Allium tuberosum plant. Plant leaves were subjected to treat with 240ppb level of ozone, and imaging data were acquired from back and front surfaces of the leaves. Variations of the biological activations were monitored based on the biospeckles. Standard deviations (SD) of OCT temporal signal at each point were calculated and used to visualize the effect of ozone exposure. Leaf back surface showed higher SDs in biospeckle OCT signal in comparison to these of the front surface. These observations prove that the short term ozone stress on plant can be investigated successively with biospeckle OCT imaging technique.
